Hello,
I am not a programmer and would like if someone can modify a vba macro that I would like to use in my work.
The existing GeoGrid project is MicroStation VBA, and includes all the source code.
Here is the link about the program http://www.la-solutions.co.uk/content/CONNECT/MVBA/MVBA-GeoGrid.htm .
I am currently using the geogrid macro and would like if someone can make some modifications to it. I use this macro when creating layout sheet which show horizontal alignment with a scale of 1"=50'.
Here is what I would like:
1 Grid lines
Grid tics and coordinates dropout
If more info is needed or something is not clear please let me know.
Thanks
Hi Steve,
how your question in MicroStation forum is different from this one?
It's one from important the best practices to do not duplicate post (ask about the same topic in more forums). When you decided it's better to use another forum, should move existing post, not to create a new one (because now nobody can be sure what thread is a main one and where to answer).
Also, I recommend to provide information whether you are expecting somebody will do it for you for free or you accept to pay for it. To modify existing code, especially when it's not yours, is typically more complex than to write a new one (because you have to invest some time to understand the code structure and style).
BTW often to narrow down user's requirement, transform them into something than can be used for implementation, and to test the results, can easily in these cases be longer than the code modification itself. So what looks like just "a few tiny changes" (as seen by user) can be day, two or even more in reality.
With regards,

Are you looking to hire someone to rewrite this code for you?Are you planning to rewrite it yourself?
Jan is correct. Reverse engineering code is not as simple as changing a few things. It takes time and expertise, although well-written code makes it easier. This is not the sort of thing that people here often do just out of the goodness of their hearts. People here are generous, kind and helpful, but everyone here has a job that they do. Not many will "volunteer" the amount of time it may take to revise someone else's macro. Even the person who wrote it and provided it as an act of goodwill to the community has paying jobs that take priority over a single user request.
We don't even know which software package you are using, and that could make a difference to certain portions of the code.Your requests are not even clear. I'm sure you know what you mean when you say "Accuracy" but I have no idea what level or format of accuracy you are looking for. Let alone "Dropout"?
If this is important to you, it would be worth hiring an experienced coder who could do the work for you more quickly and easily than you could learn the code yourself.
